Typeclass for a type `F` with an injective map to `A → B` #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

This typeclass is primarily for use by homomorphisms like monoid_hom and linear_map.

Basic usage of `fun_like` #

A typical type of morphisms should be declared as:

structure my_hom (A B : Type*) [my_class A] [my_class B] :=
(to_fun : A → B)
(map_op' : ∀ {x y : A}, to_fun (my_class.op x y) = my_class.op (to_fun x) (to_fun y))

namespace my_hom

variables (A B : Type*) [my_class A] [my_class B]

-- This instance is optional if you follow the "morphism class" design below:
instance : fun_like (my_hom A B) A (λ _, B) :=
{ coe := my_hom.to_fun, coe_injective' := λ f g h, by cases f; cases g; congr' }

/-- Helper instance for when there's too many metavariables to apply
`fun_like.has_coe_to_fun` directly. -/
instance : has_coe_to_fun (my_hom A B) (λ _, A → B) := fun_like.has_coe_to_fun

@[simp] lemma to_fun_eq_coe {f : my_hom A B} : f.to_fun = (f : A → B) := rfl

@[ext] theorem ext {f g : my_hom A B} (h : ∀ x, f x = g x) : f = g := fun_like.ext f g h

/-- Copy of a `my_hom` with a new `to_fun` equal to the old one. Useful to fix definitional
equalities. -/
protected def copy (f : my_hom A B) (f' : A → B) (h : f' = ⇑f) : my_hom A B :=
{ to_fun := f',
  map_op' := h.symm ▸ f.map_op' }

end my_hom

This file will then provide a has_coe_to_fun instance and various extensionality and simp lemmas.

Morphism classes extending `fun_like` #

The fun_like design provides further benefits if you put in a bit more work. The first step is to extend fun_like to create a class of those types satisfying the axioms of your new type of morphisms. Continuing the example above:

section
set_option old_structure_cmd true

/-- `my_hom_class F A B` states that `F` is a type of `my_class.op`-preserving morphisms.
You should extend this class when you extend `my_hom`. -/
class my_hom_class (F : Type*) (A B : out_param $ Type*) [my_class A] [my_class B]
  extends fun_like F A (λ _, B) :=
(map_op : ∀ (f : F) (x y : A), f (my_class.op x y) = my_class.op (f x) (f y))

end
@[simp] lemma map_op {F A B : Type*} [my_class A] [my_class B] [my_hom_class F A B]
  (f : F) (x y : A) : f (my_class.op x y) = my_class.op (f x) (f y) :=
my_hom_class.map_op

-- You can replace `my_hom.fun_like` with the below instance:
instance : my_hom_class (my_hom A B) A B :=
{ coe := my_hom.to_fun,
  coe_injective' := λ f g h, by cases f; cases g; congr',
  map_op := my_hom.map_op' }

-- [Insert `has_coe_to_fun`, `to_fun_eq_coe`, `ext` and `copy` here]

The second step is to add instances of your new my_hom_class for all types extending my_hom. Typically, you can just declare a new class analogous to my_hom_class:

structure cooler_hom (A B : Type*) [cool_class A] [cool_class B]
  extends my_hom A B :=
(map_cool' : to_fun cool_class.cool = cool_class.cool)

section
set_option old_structure_cmd true

class cooler_hom_class (F : Type*) (A B : out_param $ Type*) [cool_class A] [cool_class B]
  extends my_hom_class F A B :=
(map_cool : ∀ (f : F), f cool_class.cool = cool_class.cool)

end

@[simp] lemma map_cool {F A B : Type*} [cool_class A] [cool_class B] [cooler_hom_class F A B]
  (f : F) : f cool_class.cool = cool_class.cool :=
my_hom_class.map_op

-- You can also replace `my_hom.fun_like` with the below instance:
instance : cool_hom_class (cool_hom A B) A B :=
{ coe := cool_hom.to_fun,
  coe_injective' := λ f g h, by cases f; cases g; congr',
  map_op := cool_hom.map_op',
  map_cool := cool_hom.map_cool' }

-- [Insert `has_coe_to_fun`, `to_fun_eq_coe`, `ext` and `copy` here]

Then any declaration taking a specific type of morphisms as parameter can instead take the class you just defined:

-- Compare with: lemma do_something (f : my_hom A B) : sorry := sorry
lemma do_something {F : Type*} [my_hom_class F A B] (f : F) : sorry := sorry

This means anything set up for my_homs will automatically work for cool_hom_classes, and defining cool_hom_class only takes a constant amount of effort, instead of linearly increasing the work per my_hom-related declaration.
